You can import internal forces from RSTAB or RFEM.
Source model
In the 'Source Model' section, define the model from which the internal forces are to be imported. You can select the model from Dlubal Center or via the Windows dialog box 'Open'.
The directory structure of the Dlubal Center is imported into the 'Project Name' list box when you select 'RFEM 6' or 'RSTAB 9' from the 'Program' list box. The 'Model Name' list box lists all RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9 files of the selected project.
Alternatively, you can define the model in the Windows dialog box 'Open' when you select 'File' in the 'Program' list box.
Source location
In the 'Object Type' list box, you can define whether you want to import the internal forces of cross-sections or members.
When selecting the object type 'Cross-section', you can select the cross-section whose internal forces you want to import from the 'Section' list box.
When selecting the object type 'Members', you have to define the numbers of the members whose internal forces are to be considered for import in the 'Member No.' text box.
Load cases/load combinations
The 'To Select' column lists all load cases/load combinations available in the selected source model. To transfer a load case or load combination to the 'Selected Load Cases' or 'Selected Load Combinations' list, you can use the following options:
- Double-click the load case/combination.
- Select the load case/combination or several load cases/combinations by holding down the [Ctrl] key. Then, click the
button.
In RSECTION, one load case is created for each imported load case and load combination. If a load case already exists, you can specify whether to overwrite it or to create another load case.
